the winner must obtain at least 50%+1 of the votes to get elected
It is a majoritarian system, it is different from [[majority voting]]
Two main variants that are practiced in the main world :
- two rounds system or [[runoff voting]]
It is commonly used in order to elect presidents
If you don't have the absolute majority on the first round, you keep only the two having the most votes on the second round
It is then easier to get an absolute majority
- alternative vote or instant runoff
They have to give their preferences in the first round = [[preferential voting]]
And then you eliminate the one who has the less of first preferences voting
Non-[[Monotonicity|monotonicity]] donc boff
Each time you have to do another turn of counting
Ex : en France, we have a [[runoff voting]] to have an absolute majority for a President
